After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Lin Fengmian's body trembled violently, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!

But this kind of attack against attack actually slowed down the speed of that heat flow slightly!

at the same time.

He endured the excruciating pain and began to practice another technique!

Jade Bone Rock Technique!

The spiritual energy circulated wildly along the path of the cultivation technique.

Layers of pale jade-colored light appeared on his bones, and then layered on top of each other!

The bones became stronger!

The meridians were enveloped by layers of spiritual light!

He stacked his physical defense to the limit in one go!

Sword energy clashed in the front, while the Jade Bone Rock Technique reinforced the rear.

Under the combined attack from both inside and outside, the violent heat was finally suppressed to some extent!

Lin Fengmian felt somewhat reassured and began to refine the essence bit by bit with all his might.

......

at the same time.

On the cliff.

A group of people arrived at this place.

The person in the lead was a woman wearing a veil.

Although her face was not clearly visible, her shapely figure was striking.

And the aloof and noble aura emanating from her is enough to make people dare not have the slightest thought of disrespect.

She stood there quietly, as if a goddess from the heavens had descended to earth, making people want to bow down and worship her.

The disciples around her were extremely respectful to her; not one of them dared to raise their head.

The veiled woman's gaze swept over the cliff below, and she spoke softly:

"Bodhi Jade Jujube Trees should grow here. The sect sent people to harvest them once fifty years ago, and this should be the last batch."

Her voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a composure and authority that came from someone who had long held a high position.

"Send a few men down to pick the fruit."

As soon as the words were spoken, two male disciples volunteered:

"Yes! This disciple is willing to go!"

The veiled woman glanced at them, then casually pointed to one of them:

"The three of you go together. After you're done picking, come to the core area as soon as possible."

The three quickly bowed and said in unison:

"Don't worry, Master! I'll definitely complete the mission!"

The veiled woman gave a soft "hmm" and then led the rest of her people, flying towards the core area on her sword.

After she walked away, the three of them came to the edge of the cliff and peered down.

Bottomless.

The area was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything below.

The three of them immediately lost their courage and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Senior brother...are we...going to jump?"

One of the disciples swallowed hard and muttered to himself.

Keep in mind that they were all just Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one lacks divine sense and cannot accurately control a flying sword to soar through the air.

Unless they possess an extremely rare flying artifact—but there are only a handful of those in the entire Xuantian Holy Land, so how could they possibly have a chance?

The three stood on the edge of the cliff, perplexed.

"Jump..." The senior brother in the lead gritted his teeth.

"She wouldn't lie to us, would she? If she says it's here, then it must be!"

"Yes, yes, yes! How could a real person lie?"

"Jump!"

The three exchanged a glance and took a deep breath—

Then, he took the leap!

......

Below the cliff.

Zhao Yun'er stayed by Lin Fengmian's side.

Seeing the other person in pain, I was extremely anxious.

If it were my old self, I would have left long ago.

After all, the place my mother mentioned has now been found.

Shouldn't I have just taken the things and left?

But now Zhao Yun'er just can't seem to move her legs.

at this time,

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Three splashes of water rang out in succession!

Zhao Yun'er was startled and turned her head sharply to look!

Three huge splashes of water appeared on the lake not far away!

Three figures are struggling in the water!

Zhao Yun'er's pupils suddenly contracted!

someone!

Of all times!

She glanced at Lin Fengmian, then at the three struggling figures in the water, and instantly understood—

These people came for the Bodhi Jade Dates!

At this moment, there is no more fruit on that tree!

Of the five Bodhi Jade Dates, Lin Fengmian ate one-third of one, while he swallowed four!

If these people find out, they will never let it go!

What's even more terrifying is Lin Fengmian's current state...

Zhao Yun'er bit her lip, a struggle flashing in her eyes.

She remembered her mother's instructions and the mission she was entrusted with on this journey.

Zhao Yun'er took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"You bastard! This time I don't owe you anything!"

She cursed under her breath, and with a flash, rushed towards the three figures who had just climbed out of the water!

The three men had just climbed out of the lake, soaking wet and panting heavily.

Suddenly, a figure in pure white descended from the sky and landed in front of them!

The three were startled, and upon closer inspection—

She was an absolutely stunning young girl!

She wore an elegant dress, her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her skin was as white as snow.

Although her chest was somewhat flat, her aloof and otherworldly temperament still made it impossible to look away.

"Who...who are you?!"

The senior brother in the lead looked at her warily, his hand already on his storage bag.

Zhao Yun'er did not answer, but just looked at them coldly.

In her hand, she was holding the Bodhi jade date that she had taken a bite out of!

All three of them turned their gazes to the jade-white fruit!

The next moment, their expressions changed drastically!

"Bodhi Jade Dates!"

"You! You actually stole the spiritual fruit from our Xuan Tian Holy Land!"

The three of them were instantly enraged!

They were ordered by the real people to pick the fruit; if they failed, how would they explain themselves?!

Zhao Yun'er sneered, deliberately provoking him:

"What Xuan Tian Holy Land? The three major sects have long agreed that the rare treasures in the secret realm can be obtained by each sect according to their own abilities! What, do you Xuan Tian Holy Land think you're superior?"

"you--!"

The senior brother was speechless, his face turning ashen.

"court death!"

He roared and attacked!

"Chase after her! She can't fully refine the Bodhi Jade Date in a short time; the rest must still be on her!"

The three of them suddenly sprang up and pounced on Zhao Yun'er!

Seeing this, Zhao Yun'er felt relieved.

She turned and ran, speeding off in the opposite direction from Lin Fengmian!

As long as they are lured away, Lin Fengmian will not be discovered!

The three pursued relentlessly!

The three men were clearly not ordinary people who were sent to harvest something so important.

One of them suddenly stopped and flipped his wrist.

He muttered incantations, and the puppets grew taller in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into nearly ten mechanical puppets, each half a person's height!

These puppets gleamed with a cold, bronze luster.

The strangest thing is that they all have a device about the size of a bowl mounted on their backs.

The dark cave entrance was directly facing the direction Zhao Yun'er had fled!

"You two go after them!"

The disciple shouted in a deep voice, a smug glint in his eyes:

"I'll force her to change her positioning!"

"good!"

The other two exchanged a glance, then flashed away and chased after Zhao Yun'er!

The remaining disciple sat cross-legged on the ground, made hand seals, and instantly connected his spiritual sense with the nearly ten puppets on the ground.

next moment--

Those puppets, which were originally lifeless, seemed to have come to life!
